The lighting system for cars has been improved and your own car's shadow is now visible from internal views. Multiple controller support is simpler to use and you can now easily select a single controller from a list of connected devices. Steering wheel rotation is automatically limited to the correct angle for your selected car.
In "Free view" mode there is a new "walk" option that allows you to wander around in the environment with the view point maintained at eye level. This was designed to help with our development because of the unique view it gives, specially when used in VR mode.

This is the information page for version 0.6Q which has graphical improvements, better controller support and more.
The main graphical update is a new system to simulate the mirrors realistically. Each mirror's image is drawn from a separate reflected location. In VR and other 3D modes, a full stereoscopic image is generated for each mirror. The lighting system for cars has been improved and your own car's shadow is now visible from internal views.

Multiple controller support is simpler to use. Steering wheel rotation is automatically limited to the correct angle for your selected car.

A quanto pare dopo il trailer girato a Spa, il nostro Andrea "Uff" Candini ci ha preso gusto con i confronti diretti! Siete pronti per il Gran Premio d'Italia che si disputerà oggi all'Autodromo Nazionale Monza? Ecco quindi il video confronto tra F1 2016 di Codemasters e Assetto Corsa di Kunos Simulazioni con le Ferrari SF16-H e SF15-T a Monza. Le configurazioni utilizzate sono le seguenti: orario mezzogiorno e contenuti originali dei rispettivi titoli senza mod.

Dopo gli screenshots dei giorni scorsi, il team di iRacing torna a mostrarci finalmente in video l'attesissimo circuito di Le Mans, che sarà disponibile nel simulatore americano con il prossimo update di settembre, del quale oggi è stato reso noto il lunghissimo changelog.

Siete pronti per il Gran Premio d'Italia a Monza? La Codemasters arriva puntuale con il suo F1 2016 per mostrarci un giro veloce dell'autodromo brianzolo: protagonista è questa volta Vettel con la sua Ferrari! Inoltre la Codemasters ha appena rilasciato una nuova e corposa patch per la versione PC del gioco, che si preoccupa di correggere vari bugs ed apportare alcune migliorie.

• Spotter Audio: NASCAR Heat Evolution will ship with Bobby Labonte as the Spotter Audio, but players will have the option to download different spotter voices to make their races unique. We plan to release a variety of Spotter Audio ranging from real life spotters to drivers, announcers, and more. On launch day, NBC on NASCAR announcer Rick Allen’s Spotter Audio will be available for $0.99.
• Challenge Packs: In addition to the 23 Challenges shipping with NASCAR Heat Evolution, new Challenge Packs will be available every month so players can keep pursuing greatness. On September 13, Challenge Pack 1 will be available for $0.99 with 4 new Challenges.
  

Paint Schemes
Every month we’ll be releasing at least one paint scheme pack for players to diversify their game. One of the coolest features in NASCAR Heat Evolution are the track specific paint schemes. For example, if you purchase Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1, the AI cars at Darlington will use the Darlington paint schemes. It takes authenticity to a whole new level.
Worth noting, if all of the art assets are not delivered from the race teams and sponsors in time, certain paint schemes packs will be released in two parts. The Darlington schemes and the Chase schemes are both examples of this. We make the paint schemes as soon as we receive them. We didn’t have enough time to create the schemes for drivers who just revealed their Darlington paint schemes like Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher. You can expect a Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 2 and a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 2 at a later date. The following Paint Scheme Packs will be available on launch day:

• Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1: Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Aric Almirola, Kurt Busch, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Trevor Bayne, Austin Dillon, Casey Mears, Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, David Ragan, and Matt DiBenedetto. (Price: $9.99)
  

• Paint Scheme Pack 1: Chase Elliott – 3M, Kasey Kahne – Panasonic, Kasey Kahne – Mountain Dew, Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Tax Slayer, Greg Biffle – KFC, Tony Stewart – Code/Mobil 1, Ricky Stenhouse Jr – Ford EcoBoost, Landon Cassill – Snap Fitness, Jimmie Johnson – Kobalt, and Chris Buescher – CSX. (Price: $4.99)
  

• Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 1: Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr, Denny Hamlin, and Tony Stewart. (Price: $4.99)
  

Pit Pass Bundles
Since this is our first game release, we were unable to have a Season Pass to cover all of the DLC we’ll be releasing in 2016. Instead, we’ll be offering 4 separate Pit Pass Bundles through 2016. Each Pit Pass Bundle will include a bundle of DLC at a discounted price. Below are the details for Pit Pass Bundle 1 available September 13, 2016:

• Pit Pass Bundle 1: Pit Pass Bundle 1 will include Darlington Throwback Paint Scheme Pack 1, Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Paint Scheme Pack 1, Paint Scheme Pack 1, Rick Allen Spotter Audio, and Challenge Pack 1. (Price: TBD)
  

Toyota Partnership
Through our partnership with Toyota, fans will receive a free Toyota Challenge Pack and a free Toyota Paint Scheme Pack each month. Below are details for the free Toyota DLC available on September 13:

• Toyota Challenge Pack 1: 4 new challenges from Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, and Denny Hamlin take you to Kentucky, Sonoma, Daytona, and Indianapolis. (Price: Free)
  

• Toyota Paint Scheme Pack 1: Paint schemes include Kyle Busch – Skittles, Carl Edwards – Subway, Carl Edwards – Stanley, Denny Hamlin – FedEx Ground, Matt Kenseth – Dewalt, Martin Truex Jr. – Furniture Row, Matt DiBenedetto – EJ Wade, Matt DiBenedetto – Dustless Blasting, and David Ragan – Shriner’s Hospital. (Price: Free)
  

Pre-Order DLC
NASCAR Heat Evolution is excited to partner with our retail partners and offer pre-order bonus DLC. All pre-order DLC will be available to all players at a later date. Below are the details of the current pre-order bonuses:

• GameStop: Players who pre-order through GameStop have exclusive access to Erik Jones paint schemes. Included paint schemes are NASCAR Heat Evolution, GameStop Turtle Beach, and GameStop Think Geek.

Included paint schemes are Kasey Kahne – Drive Home A Winner, Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Mountain Dew, and Carl Edwards – Arris Surfboard, the winning paint scheme that landed Carl on the cover of NASCAR Heat Evolution.
  

• Xbox Marketplace: Players who digitally pre-order NASCAR Heat Evolution on Xbox will have launch day access to the Sprint All-Star Paint Scheme Pack.
  

Shew! There you have it. As you can see, NASCAR Heat Evolution is only the beginning. We look forward to giving players a ton of great content through the end of the year. We’ll see you on the track!

From the start this title has been one of our most ambitious undertakings by using the latest technologies, such as physics-based rendering and sound simulations, and Scapes photo mode. In combining these features with a new Sport mode, we are offering a competitive gaming experience to truly reinvent what it means to be a racing game. We’ve been excited and humbled by the response each time that we’ve shared new gameplay with everyone.
However, as we approach our planned release date in November, we realize we need more time to perfect GT Sport, which we’ve already dedicated so much effort towards since announcing the title. We do not want to compromise the experience in any way. While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.
GT Sport will continue to be shown at several gaming events around the world. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience first-hand the yet-to-be revealed cutting edge experiences that will be achieved by GT Sport.

KUNOS Simulazioni e 505 Games presentano il "TRIPL3 PACK", il nuovo pacchetto aggiuntivo per ASSETTO CORSA che celebra il lancio della versione console del simulatore made in Italy, e che include le spettacolari FERRARI FXX K, FERRARI 488 GTB e PRAGA R1!

Le auto:
Ferrari FXX K
Ferrari 488 GTB
Praga R1

Ferrari FXX K
La FXX K è il primo prototipo ibrido ad alte prestazioni prodotto nell'ambito del programma FXX. La sigla "K" indica la tecnologia "Kers (Kinetic energy recovery) utilizzata per massimizzare le performance in pista. Derivata dalla LaFerrari, ma priva dell'omologazione per circolare su strada, la FXX K è una vettura senza compromessi, equipaggiata con tecnologie assolutamente innovative che garantiscono sensazioni di guida incredibili. La FXX K sviluppa 1050 cavalli (di cui 860 dal motore termico, 190 da quello elettrico) e una coppia di 900Nm. Il motore V12 da 6262cc è ottimizzato per le massime performance gestibili tramite quattro posizioni del manettino: Qualify, Long Run, Manual Boost, Fast Charge.

Ferrari 488 GTB
Questa vettura GT garantisce prestazioni da competizione fruibili anche per i piloti non professionisti. I suoi tempi di reazione, la leggerezza e la maneggevolezza nella guida al limite garantiscono un piacere di guida unico.
E' equipaggiata dal nuovo propulsore turbo V8 da 3902cc al top della categoria per potenza, coppia e tempi di risposta, e rappresenta il nuovo punto di riferimento per questo genere di configurazione. La gestione elettronica dei controlli di trazione e stabilità garantiscono un'ottima gestione delle performance e un controllo di guida esemplare.

Praga R1
Questa auto, interamente realizzata come monoscocca in carbonio è ispirata ai prototipi per le gare endurance, e grazie al design aerodinamico sviluppa un downforce che corrisponde a 1,5 volte il suo peso, e può raggiungere i 3G laterali in percorrenza di curva. Lo schema sospensivo e il peso leggero sono studiati per massimizzare la trazione minimizzando l'usura di freni e pneumatici.
